Application "filed January 31, 1922.

To all whom it wmg/ concern:

Be it KHOWD that l, Unannns lian'rnnn N, a citizen of the United dtates, residing: at

San Antonio, in the countv of P59 and *I- 'I i Y I 1 e 1 x ntate 01 iexas, have inventa. ceitain cow and useful Improvements in liilotor-Vehicae Headlight-Defiector Deices, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the cconipanying; drawings.

This invention relates to a motor vehicle headlight deflector device, and the oh o the invention is the construction ot a s. pie eiiicient device that can be i attached to the body oi a head-lamp, out the necessity of a-i'ljusting any fastening means.

.i-xnother object of he invention is the construction of a simple and eiiicient deflector device that can be quickly secured to a dlamp by a skilled or unskilled Cpelfiififi owing to the sim iiiicit v and durahilit o5 device.

\Vith these and other objects in view. i invention comprises certain novel conibn tions, constructions and arri parts as will he hereinafter *lesc med trated in the accompanying drawings, more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

in the drawings:

Figure 1 is aperspective view of :1 device constructed in accordance with the present invention, and shown upon a wildainp.

the rays of light, striking thereagainst to be thrown downwardly noon the road over which the vehicle is passing, thereby preventing; a glaring light to be thrown n the eyes of the operator of an approaching vehicle.

A plurality of clamping devices 9 are placed within the ring-like body l, and at tached 1 thereto as hereinafter described. Each clan'iping device comprises a substantially ll-shaped body 10. The inner side 11 conforms to the shame of and rests snugly against the inner face oi a portion of the rii q-lihe body 4-. stud 12 extends through the ring-like body a and through side 11. of the clamping; device, holding; the clamping device in position. The outer side 13 of clamping device 9, is cut away as at 14, producing at its outer corners, clamping ln 15. which lugs tightly clamp against the inner side oi? the edge 2 (Fig. 2) whereas,

inner end oi the stud i2 clamps or hears y upon the enter face of the edsze 2. o be noted (Fig. that the outer side ontwardly-bowed from an imaginary 54. so to permit the lugs 15 to have cided clamping" action against the edge zen the entire device is slid or forced 0 position noon the head-lamp, shown and 2. Therefore, it will be seen i at .l have provided a ring'dike body with a r ity oi resil'n or springy clamping t) to hold the l'lIflQdlliG body upon a no; my device v...ll permit the quick 01"?C1Z10Vttl, of the same L11 position "l of the operator.
